I know they're corny, but I'll always love them.

Relevant question: does anyone think that if I made a coffee machine that you can stack multiple coffee pads in, would it be okay to advertise it in my signature, provided I included a model expressly made for inworld use, also?

Oh cool, they stack, so I could fit 3 or 4 of them in a cup! I love that~!

I wonder if failed political ideologies might be allowed, merely for historical purposes? *considers making a signature advertising the representative republic model of government*

No. Clever retort is fail. You can only assign one category to a product listing. I don't think they're all listing vajayjays as shoes. It's keyword spam, IMO. As for demos showing up, if a person makes a demo version of a product, they're supposed to link it to the main product as a demo, and if they don't, apparently it can be flagged/reported for that. If they don't link it as a demo, it will most certainly turn up even when the "no demos" checkbox is checked. At least this is what I was told.

You're right, I just noticed it. The username has the letters "lsd" in it. No way that should have passed SL's stringent standards. *looks all innocent*

Because when you can roll into a free restaurant and gorge yourself on all of the goodies for nothing, and people are working hard to provide you with all of that to the best of their ability, someone else should be paying them all for it, right? Because people merely showing up to an event is what keeps SL and all of the people striving to do something great with it online, right? You know, you're right. Everyone should just do their absolute best to provide everyone with the best of everything, with no motivation other than a sim owner going further into pocket and paying for every fart and poot of it all, for nothing other than the satisfaction of seeing people visit their sim. I think I'll go eat at a nice restaurant tonight instead of cooking for the house. Someone will pay for it, I'm sure. I deserve the best. For nothing. Thank you for opening my eyes. Goodbye.

See, if it's to make otherwise uninteresting or unexciting places look awesome, then I'm down. But I do try to let myself see a place the way its creator intended, at least when I'm seeing it for the first time. My home sim is very dark, so when I build or work on things, I like to turn the lights on. But sometimes I forget that I'm seeing everything in bright daylight while everyone else sees the place as it was intended. So, I try to make a habit of keeping my settings on shared environment when I'm not working on stuff, so at least I'm sort of on the same page with visitors. Besides, it's fun jumping out at people from the shadows, and I can only do that if I know where the shadows are. XD

Always, unless I'm building, or seeing how something looks that I've just uploaded and textured. Then it's Nam's Optimal Skin & Prim all the way. I do usually keep a lot of "atmospheric" and other visual settings turned off, just because laptop, but as far as the environmental settings, yeah. Shared environment. Especially if I'm out exploring, or visiting someone else's sim that they want to show off.

If in the "listener" of the object to be affected, instead of listening only for the owner, you set it to "" or NULL_KEY, it will receive and process any recognized message on the same channel, regardless of who sent it. It might look like: llListen(0, "", llGetOwner(), ""); Changing llGetOwner() to a pair of empty quotation marks ("") will make it listen for anyone on the same channel instead of just the owner. You can have a single hud owned by one user, and quick-change textures on an entire group of avatars (a dance troupe, for example) if you want. Sometimes people specify owner-only listening when they set the listener up (as shown above). Sometimes people specify filtering for the owner only in the section of the script that processes listeners (the "listen event"). If neither of these specifies owner-only, you should be fine.

If I have money, I tip. If not, I say something about how if I had money, I would tip, and everyone tells me not to feel guilty for it. Working hard for small rewards is a bad habit many people get into. If you're going to work hard, make sure it pays what you want, or is fun enough that you simply enjoy it. Then anything you earn is a bonus. I charge the U.S. dollar equivalent of 4 bucks for a mesh model I created. I almost felt guilty for pricing it that high. Then I remembered how much of my time I put into it, and the fact that I'll tip a DJ and host just as much sometimes, just for playing music I like, and cheering for me every time I get back from the bathroom. It's all relative. I see nothing wrong with tipping someone a couple of bucks for showing up at an event and helping the DJ, even if it's just moral support. I do that myself for free, but then I'm just having fun and not being responsible for anything.

Oh, and... wrong section, y'all.

I still wonder sometimes if that would have worked in The Secret Garden, too. EDIT: Yes, I am old. For anyone who doesn't get the references: A: Little House on the Prairie, the quoted gif - Laura pushed Nellie into the river, and Nellie jumped and stood up, thus exposing her fraud (pretending to have broken legs). B: The Secret Garden, the boy's family is keeping him bedridden by treating him like an invalid. If the protagonist had hurled him into a pond, he might have recovered faster. Both are probably relevant on some deeper level, but still sort of off-topic. I know, I know, we all try to do better than that. Sorry. /nerding

If you show up on the beach and claim to be a refugee from New Zealand, I hear they grant instant citizenship, and will even help you get a job. Oh wait, that's Australia. Sorry.

Maybe trying to read the text on the HUD was supposed to be part of the challenge. "Find all the hidden words on the HUD to continue~!"

I think one problem is that if a person puts, say, "not scripted" in their keyword spam thingy for a product, it includes the word "scripted", and will turn up in search. ...nevermind the fact that I can type in "shoes" and get results for lingerie, tattoos, and vajayjays. It may be an assist to search using the specific category Home & Garden, so as to (hopefully) exclude Building Components turning up, and then look to the left and click the link for Furniture so as to filter closer. I can't guarantee anything though, because again, who knows what people put in their keywords, or how they categorize their products.

I drive a lot, and it still means very little. I'll drive right across the continent, and roads be darned, if there aren't any roads going my way. I LOVE all that abandoned land.

If, using the UV map, you place images so that they overlap the edges properly, they meet up on the other side. It's tricky, but once you get it lined up right, the hardest part is over. It's like making a seamless, or tiling, texture for a web page background, except you don't have mathematical offsets to use for it. Angling a pasted layer of the image along one seam, you can cut it and paste the cut layer into a new layer, then rotate that one around and scoot it over to the other seam. The rest is just scooting one or the other up or down along the seam until they match up on the model. If I recall correctly, the base avatar that everything derives from was originally a Poser model. I have no idea where I got that from, but it stuck in my head when I heard it, and if I'm wrong then I'll try to repair my neural pathway to correct it. Anyway, way back then, everything was so low-poly that it kinda didn't matter. Now it kinda matters, and we do our best to work around the limitations. I'm especially impressed by people who can get the tops of over-the-knee stockings to line up correctly, myself.

This thread should never be allowed to leave the first page. Just sayin'. Delight of the Day: Accidentally eavesdropping on a conversation while everyone thinks I'm asleep, and hearing someone say that everything has been better since I've been around, and hearing everyone else agree. I'll pretend I never heard it, but I think I'll make cookies today, too. Everyone likes it when I make cookies.

It gives me people to talk to outside of the grid that actually know what SL is. At least some of them do.

That's one way of dealing with it, I guess. I just throw them in the harbor.
